CoRYDoN, August IA About three weeks
ago, Mrs. @. B. Tuell, of this place, left
home upon pretext of visiting her mother
in New York, from whom she had received
a Telegram stating that she was quite sick.
A few days ago couple OF gentlemen visit
ed Louisville and met Mrs. TueIl at the
Alexander Hotel. They came home and
reported the fact of their meeting the lady,
and her husband at once borrowed a re.
volver and started for Louisville. He has
just returned and reports that he was un-
able to find his wife, but says that he
learned that she had peen at the Alexander

Kentucky town. 1t has been learned that
she did not receive q telegram from her
mother, and it is believed that she will not
return. Mrs. Tuell is only nineteen years
old and is very pretty. Her fight has caus-

THE AFGHAN QUESTION.
Russia Preparing to Largely Reinforce
Her Pacific Coast Settlement.


LONDON, Aug. 14.-Although an appar-
ent truce was concluded between Russia
and England in the settlement of the AT
parations in India and Turkestan point to
an eventual struggle for possession of the
strategic points in the ameer's dominions.
Reports from Simla state that troops in
large force are held In readiness to occupy
Candahar and Cebul in event of the death
of the smeer or his overthrow by the reb-
els. In addition to these evidences OF
war-like, or at least precautionary inten-
tion, the government has asked the
authorities in Australia to furnish an esti-
mate of the numerical strength of the
military contingents they would be able
to supply in case of war, and reports
OF the amount and condition of the
military stores, arms, ammunition, ETC.,
have been required of the commandments
of the various military depots, armories
and arsenals. The Russians are preparing
to largely re-enforce their Pacific coast set
Elements, and have made inquiries con-
cerDing the cost of and facilities for
transport service of several European
steamship and shipping companies. Rus
sian engineers are also actively engaged in
surveying the territory of Bsdaksban, the
most northessterly providence OF AfghHnis-
tan, and mapping the country to the north
west frontier Russian troops are massed
within days march of Khojehsaleh, on
the Oxus river, precisely as they were be-
fore the Afghan frontier matter was settled
by the Joint commission at st. Petersburg,
and there is nothing on either side of the
border of Afghanistan to indicate that the
st. Petersburg convention has disposed OF
the matter in dipute.

the Mormon church. The child was born,
and for fear of foul play from other child
rem of the smith family, the mother and
child hastened to England there educated
the child in Cambridge university, proper
credentials having been given to secure all
rights. The story is now being republish-
ed by lie Barron Harrington, q man Of note
in the Mormon church at Salt Lake city,
Utah, for the purpose, it is thought, OF in
juriDg the prospects of ambitious Smiths
of the present day and perhaps with the
intention of springing thescentral figure OF
the story, who would now be As years old,
before the church as q claimant to the
head.
DR.. Geo. w. Hall, OF ST. Louis, and Mr..
Crawford, of Hancock county, Ill, claim
to be the only ones who know OF the origin
of the story and they pronounce it myth.
1t is reported that the story was concocted
% years ago in DR.. Halls office to his
knowledge but not by him. He claims to
have ample evidence in his possession to
prove the whole thing myth.

armiDg herself, set out to the home of her
children's grandmother. She begged pitt
fully TO see her children, the oldest of

mother should not disgrace the babies,
when the mother pulled out her revolver,
and said she would murder anybody who
interfered with her.
The woman grabbed the babies and
skipped out for parts unknown. When

Reports from the Burning "rhumb."

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 10.-A gentleman
who travelled yesterday through the burn
ing thumb of the lower peninsula, says
meadow and bush fires are everywhere.
Acres of cut grass and miles of fencing
have been destroyed. Several barns and a
number of cattle are reported burned in
the interior, but definite news has not yet
been received. At night the scene is wild
and weird. Isolated houses stand in the
center OF burning fields and their destruc'
tiop seems certain. Last week Red Axe
seemed doomed, but q sudden change of
wind drove the fire away. The farmers
are suffering greatly. AT the Straits of
Mackinac the smoke is so dense much trou-
BILE is experienced by vessel men in making
the passage. In many parts of the State
the fires are small and scattered, but the
total loss will be heavy.

A STARTLING STORY.
Reported Sinking of an american Ship by
Canadian Cruiser.

Reported Sinking OF an american Ship by
a Canadian Cruiser.
OTTAWA, Aug. ia gentleman who ar
rived here Saturday evening from Buc-
touche, small village on the gulf of st.
Lawrence shore of New Brunswick, tells
startling and sensational story calculated
to make the blood boil in every American
citizens heart. He says that a fishing
schooner belonging to the United States
has been sunk by shot from one of the
Canadian cruisers, and that all on board
were lost. The authority for the story is
not given by name, but is sad to be a man
of undoubted Veracity living in Buctouche.
This man says that he and his wife were
awakened by the firing, and that many
other people saw the foremast of the little
schooner go by the board, with all. sails,
etc. This careened the ship so far that she
flied and sank Immediately. The cruiser
then disappeared, going out to sea. The
man was able to learn that an American
vessel had been chased by cruiser the day
before, but he could not learn the name of
either. He found two fishermen who had
been out in a row boat the night before.
and who were witnesses of the firing and
saw the vessel sink. The reason for sup.
pressing the news is obvious, but If true,
the story is bound 70 come out.

DESTRUCTION INCREASING.
Fields Parched and Blaekened For Lack
of Rains

CHICAGO, August 10. The telegraph
wires, crossing and recrossing the part of
country that has been psrched and black
ened for lack of rain, brought only news
of despair this mornings Messages re-
ceived from all the different sections
showed the outlook even worse than
twenty.four hours before. Then there
was words of a slight sprinkle at Des
Moines and faint hopes were entertained
for few drops in places elsewhere. To-
days kilograms contain the information
that not particle of the longed for rain
has descended in all the immense
stretch of territory. Added to this the
temperature throughout the drouth region
is rising and the expectation of slight
showers any where is gradually being re-
duced to q minimum.

Attempt at Arson.

LoeAEsPoRT, August 12-[special].-
Some mikcreant made an attempt to burn
the large grocery store belonging to John
II. Lux about midnight last night. The fire
bug entered the open stairway with cot
ton ball saturated with kerosene, which
he set fire to, and placing 1t against the
combustible wood il soon sent out bril-
liant blaze, which fortunately attracted the
notice of a passer-5y, who gave the alarm
in time to extinguish the fire before it got
beyond control. As Mr.. Lux's stors was
burned few months since on the same
site as then, suspected by some fend, it
has created an intense feeling, and if he is
caught he may expect no mercy.

RICHMOND, August 15.-Judge Newman,
of Woodstock, who committed Senator
Riddleberger to jail for contempt is re-
garded here as one of the spunkiest men
in the State. He has been a CONSTANT
Democrat for years, and fought Malone
ism in season and out of season. Those
who know the Judge well, say that he can
not be bulldozed by Riddleberger or any
one else, and that he will certainly arrest
the Senator and put him in jail again.
Governor Fitzhugh Lee was aked by q
correspondent what he thought of the
Riddleberger incident. II Decline" re-

ment over the imprisonment and subse-
quent rescue of Senator Riddleberger has
